Aphids on roses
Once aphids settle on your roses, they will quickly multiply , which is why you should regularly check your roses for aphids. But how to identify an infestation of the tiny green bugs? You can see aphids with the naked eye. They tend to sit close to each other at the tips of shoots and flower heads. They are only a few millimetres in size and can be green, black, red or white in colour. Green aphids on roses (Macrosiphum rosae) are the most common.
Further indicators include deformed and curled leaves on the shoot tip and hanging flower buds. With a severe infestation, flower buds will even fall off the plant. These symptoms are caused by the aphids’ sucking activity on the plant, which result in a large local loss of water. Beneath the aphids leaves are often covered with sticky honeydew glistening in the sun. The sticky substance contains a lot of sugar. Because of the sugar on the leaves, black sooty mould easily starts to settle, which can further weaken the plant by hindering photosynthesis.
Tip: The increased occurrence of ants on a plant is yet another sign of an aphid infestation. Ants eat the honeydew , a sugary excretion of the insects. Ants protect the aphids from predators and encourage them to suck even more plant sap. That way, ants even promote an infestation.
Symptoms of aphid damage on roses:
- little green bugs on roses a few millimetres long, sitting at the tips of shoots
- Deformed and curled leaves
- Hanging flower buds and shoot tips
- Sticky and shiny leaves due to honeydew
- Sometimes black sooty mould
- Increased occurrence of ants on the plant
